Thank you for the tip  :-)

   The default terminal

Yes, 10.4 has broken a lot of things...

In fact, I prefer from far the gnome-terminal, but like you said before, 
some applis are actually broken with 10.4.

Waiting "the return of the complete GNOME" in fink, use xterm + 
costomized colors.defaults (attached) is enough.

Just change TERM variable  to xterm-color, and install (from sources) 
the latest ncurses package.
To enable the change, xrdb color.defaults is necessary, + 
"CTRL+middlebutton click" and "enable curses" .

mc (build from sources too) works fine, like vi. Not tested emacs on Mac 
OSX yet, but soon...  :-)
